Sorry if this has been mentioned before, I've been off for a while but I didn't see it. If harry is a descendant of the third brother and Marvolo Gaunt said the ring/stone was passed down in the family, doesn't that make harry and voldy long lost relatives?

Yea, essentially, but all wizards are related to eachother basically, some you have to dig deeper than other to find out.

The Peverell line died out centuries ago, they said, so while they are related, it's probably an extremely distant relation. For example, I have a couple of sixth cousins that live down the street, hardly even worth calling relatives, and that's from lines that converged less than 200 years ago. Harry and Volemort are probably even more distantly related.

How does that even work though? Cadmus Peverell was the one with the resurrection stone and he only got it to bring back the girl he wanted to marry then killed himself. So logically he couldn't have had descendants and yet Marvolo Gaunt said they were his ancestors and had the stone to prove it.

Perhaps the brother with the invisibility cloak got the stone after Cadmus' death. And, like, he handed his eldest son the cloak, and his second eldest son the stone. Or something.

Hm. Maybe. It'd be interesting if Rowling somehow connected all the famous wizards of the day through the Peverells.
